D7.1 Quality, Risk and Innovation and Exploitation Management Strategy
No full textGood quality, risk, innovation and exploitation management are elementary for the effective and efficient management of the Firelogue project and the impactful utilisation of its results. The roles and responsibilities for each partner have been agreed upon in the Grant Agreement and the Consortium Agreement which will serve as the basis for the work conducted for the coming years.
Regular meetings on all Firelogue levels help ensure the effective flow of information, hold partners accountable and allow for the successful completion of the work conducted. Firelogue as a project promotes the dialogue within the Wildfire Risk Management (WFRM) community, the same sentiment should thus also apply within the Consortium.
Risk monitoring and management is necessary to avoid potential harm to the project’s goals. All partners are called upon to report any potential risks they may see to the Project Coordinator regularly and work on implementing effective mitigation strategies. An initial list of project risks that have been identified during the creation of Firelogue will serve as a first step. They will be updated with each periodic report.
Innovation and exploitation of the Firelogue outcomes will ensure that the project partner’s efforts and ideals will be widely known within the community and beyond and will sustain long after Firelogue has ended as a project. At the same time, knowledge and expertise on innovation and exploitation management will be provided to the projects that Firelogue support, i.e. FIRE-RES, DRYADS, SILVANUS and FirEUrisk
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
D7.3 - Ethics protocol and equality management plan
No full textThe deliverable sets forth the ethics protocol and equality management plan for research ethics within the Firelogue project. It provides an outline of the ethics and equality guidelines, legal considerations, and standards. Building from these, it describes a general framework for partners to follow throughout the course of the project.
It continues by describing the research activities with stakeholders to which the framework applies. It describes the activities’ purposes, and who would be involved, how they will be recruited, and how partners will aim at representativeness, inclusivity, and equality within these activities.
It then presents ethics and data protection actions and measures the consortium will take to ensure compliance with the framework, and with scientific integrity and responsible research activities in general. These include informed consent procedures and forms, research integrity compliance, ethics approvals, as well as management structures for the general ethics monitoring of project activities. It follows with what personal data will be gathered as part of this, as well as personal data protection needs and procedures, including data minimisation, anonymisation and pseudonymisation, and organisational and technical measures. It also specifically articulates a plan to ensure gender equality within the project.
This protocol and management plan is active within the project. All issues will be continuously monitored and any new issues that arise will be documented for future reporting. However, it should be noted that it is subject to modifications in order to address new concerns that arise as the project’s trajectory is further elaborated and activity plans are completed
D6.2 - Dissemination strategy and action plan
No full textThis deliverable presents the dissemination and communication strategy of the Firelogue project. In order to ensure that the various outputs of Firelogue are appropriately disseminated amongst the interested stakeholders, this Deliverable specifies the dissemination strategy.
The related measures are presented in detail in this document, whilst references are made to D6.1 Communication Strategy & Action Plan. Firelogue is committed to ensure that the results of the project are made available and accessible to a wide community of stakeholders across the various sectors targeted by the project.
Firelogue will use a variety of dissemination tools/activities to reach all audiences. These include among others a website, published articles and presentation of the project to conferences outcomes and objectives, events and workshops as presented in detail in this document
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
